In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express. And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints in accordance with God's will. Romans 8:26-27
What a beautiful promise: that the Spirit of God intercedes for us when we just don't know what to say, how to act, how to feel, or how to pray.
When you are burdened by a friend who is hurting and may not know the love and peace of Christ...
When you are pressured by your coworkers to be part of the office or school gossip, lest you become the object of the gossip...
When your boss reprimands you for making a mistake when you had no idea that you were doing anything wrong...
When you have so much on your mind that all you can do is cry because you don't even know where to begin to find words...
The Spirit of God is with you and intercedes for you with groans that words cannot express.
All you have to do is ask.
